Excuse Me But, Your Balls Are Showing
This may make me a tad bit shallow, but to me, the way a man dresses is crucial. I would never consider going out with someone who wore rhinestone-studded t-shirts, girl pants, and flip flops. Or the guys who wear sweats and flannel pajama pants everywhere, despite the place and occasion.
I'm appalled with the way children dress these days, particularly in the guys' department.
(When I say "children", I'm referring to the age bracket of about 12 to early 20's-ish. )
It's all very strange to me because when I was growing up, boys wore baggy pants, rather than the gender-neutral "skinny" jean that freaking everyone wears now, including the skater kids. It's distressing. I just can't take a man in skin-tight pants seriously. It looks ridiculous.
Personally, I prefer men in slacks, collared shirts, dress shirts, etc. I really, really love a man in a nice suit and tie-- probably because it's such a rarity in the uber-casual, shorts-and-t-shirts Tucson.
Bad hygiene seems to be pretty trendy now, and I'm blaming it all on the hipsters. Some jackass along the line decided it was cool to stop showering, shaving, combing their hair, and wearing deodorant. What's worse is, women love these greasy, man-purse-carrying douche bags. At least the equally greasy, disheveled hipster girls do, anyway. What the hell is wrong with children these days?
And all these scarves now, everywhere, even in the summertime? Now don't get me wrong, I love a good scarf. I have quite a few that I wear quite often... in the winter. When it's cold outside. Oh and, sorry again, straight guys, you just look silly in a scarf.
Don't even get me started on the vests.
Finally, everyone, please, put some shoes on. Torn, cracked heels and soles covered in that thick grime from flip-flopping around in the dusty streets of Tucson are just gross to look at. The thundering of your thousands of flip flops, clip-clopping all over campus at mid-day is simply maddening. Thank god for my iPod.

Ah fashion, interesting points and I'll contribute with my own unsolicited opinions (really, I'd prefer to keep my opinions to myself, but my grade's at stake when it comes to commenting, so you'll have to bear with for the time being.
Flipflops: I enjoy flipflops...a lot. However, I enjoy flipflops when the weather is appropriate, and I do so with the proper attention given to my feet. I'm weird in that I don't really give much notice to a girl's feet unless they're cracked and dry (and gross). I'm not sure why, but it's a tremendous turn-off for me to see a cute girl with feet that look like a construction worker's.
Cleanliness: I come from an urban area, and the modus operandi is unfailingly,"so fresh and so clean clean" (if you don't catch the reference, shame on you). The shaggy, unkempt look isn't my cup of tea.
Dress style: I really wish I could wear suits all the time, I feel like it's a bit too formal for daily wear though. I wear scarves and vests on occasion, some might consider it effeminate, but it seems to look fine for the girls I hang out with so I'm somewhat ambivalent on the matter.
"I'd prefer to keep my opinions to myself." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh man. you kill me.
